Lisa B. - Tutor in Bronxville, NY (10708)

"The most precious gift you can give someone is your time." Whether you are a parent who is concerned about your child, a student who is struggling with a course, a Corporate Executive that needs to learn a new language, a Social worker who has to pass a course to keep her job, a College student who needs help with his papers, or a Medical student doing your internship and needs proof reading, I can help you.

With over 20 years of experience in many fields, I like to give back to others. I remember when I was in 4th grade and I was having a very difficult time with my English class, how two teachers took me under their wings and tutored me on their off time. I never forgot that. I even remember their names, Mrs. H Levine and Mrs. R Levine. They were my angels. By the 6th grade I was the winner of the SPELLING BEE, outperforming all the kids and my grades just shot up. That was a critical time because after that I got a scholarship to New York University, and that was a very difficult school to get into.

I have always been an over achiever with many interests, and my diverse background has allowed me to develop my skills. I am a published writer, edited books for other authors, performed statistical work for Television Networks, and currently I own 2 businesses which impact the community in a positive way. So, I live by my word, I preach what I teach. I believe that I can make a difference for someone else, and that could be you. So if you would like to have fun while you learn, let me help you to be all that you can be. I am currently teaching at the Graduate, High School and Elementary levels. I make learning fun!!

Cancellation Policy:
I understand that things come up. However, I have many students that I am working with and need 24 hour advanced notice for a canceled lesson, otherwise you will be charged my rate.

• phonics

  I have been working with PHONICS with students of all ages and levels. Since I understand how we learn languages because I studied Linguistics, I found that this method reduces the time needed to learn. The students who I am teaching using PHONICS improve at a much rapid level and they enjoy their lessons. My students consist of 4 year olds, Special needs students, ESL students from all countries around the world, and adults who are learning to read for the first time. The success rate is excellent and they look forward to their lessons, because they are fun. If you are having fun, you are more relaxed and your mind is like a parachute.........the rest is history.

• photography

  I was a Press Photographer for a radio station, two publications, and also several non-profit organizations. I took over 37,000 photographs of people, places, and events. I enjoy capturing the expression on people's faces or a unique shot of a Hawaiian Gran Canyon, a rainbow, or a Maine Coon Cat. I can teach you how to be creative . Although I do know how to use digital cameras, I still prefer the old-fashion film ones. I even was hired to photograph a Bar Mitzvah. That was a lot a fun. So capturing the moment takes some skill, but with a trained eye, you can be a much better photographer!!

• college counseling

  With many years of experience in many areas, I would be able to help you with regards to College Counseling. I can help with writing essays for entrance applications, since I know what the Colleges are looking for. I have helped many students, preparing for their entrance exams also. So if you have a dream to go to College, gather your information and I can help you put it together into a nice package that will appeal to the Colleges. My background includes Public Relations, writing copy for advertisements, research, and just knowing what people like. So send an email to check for my availability.
